Letter: Coulter’s idea might come back to haunt her

I read a column by Ann Coulter trashing people who favor common-sense measures to cut down on the availability of guns used to commit crimes.

Coulter wants people with mental illness to be jailed. According to her, if only people with mental problems are taken off the street, mass murders would be stopped.

Is Coulter aware that there are millions of Americans who are being treated for their illnesses? The United States already has the largest number of people incarcerated. I thought that in this country you had to be guilty of something to be locked up. Coulter and her ilk want to trash the Constitution to lock up undesirables.

Does Coulter understand that there are many who doubt her sanity? There are many who think her mental status might lead to her being taken off the street.
